Candler has a big job on hand, which is the signing of commissions for all of the county officers of the state elected at the last general elec tion for state house officers. There are 1,644 of these officials to be commis sioned, and their commissions record ed, showing when they were elected and for what term. The certificates of their election were signed by Secretary of State Cook and sent to the governor, and the commissions when they are signed by the governor will be sent to the secretary of state and made a mat ter of record in that department. Dr. W. II Lswis, Lawrenceville, Va., wri’eu “I am using Kodol Dyspepsia cure in my practice among severe cases of indigestion and find it an admirable remedy.” Many hundreds of physi’ ci ans depend upon the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in stomach troubles. It digests what you eat, aud allows you to eat all the good food you need, provid ing you do not overload your stomach. Giyes instant relief and a permanent cure. W. A. Rembert. Beware of the man who professes to be your friend, but who is given to drawing uncharitable inferences. •‘For three days and nights I suffered agony untold from an attack of cholera morbus brought on by eating cucum bers,” says M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district court, Centerville, lowa. “I thought 1 should surely die, and tried a dozen different medicines but all to no purpose. I sent for a bottle of Chain betlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and three doses relieved me en tirely.” This remedy is for sale by Dodson’s Pharmacy and J. R. Hudson’s Drugstore. The untruth of today is called a lie; the untruth of one hundred years ago is called a legend. Don’t Be deceived or humbugged by people who claim the discovery of some hitherto unknown herb or root in swamps, or on some mountain or prai rie, for the cure of kidney or bladder troubles. Any doctor or druggist will tell you that such claims are fraudulent. Foley’s Kidney Cure simply contains remedies that are recognized by the most skillful physicians as best for these complaints, so don’t be credulous or Foolish. Davenport Drug Co. If you want to hear a hardluck story ask a man for money he owes you. TO STOP A COLD. After exposure or when you feel a cold coming on, take a dose of Foley’s Honey and Tar. It never fails to stop a cold if taken in time. Davenport Drug Co. The more checks a spend-thrift re ceives the faster he goes. Torturing skin eruptions, burns and sores are soothed at once and promptly healed ny applying DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, the best known cure for piles. Beware of worthless counter feits. W. A. Rembert. If a wife foots her husband’s socks it is seldom a burden for him to foot her bills. It is exasperating to one who knows Foley’s Honey and Tar, and knows what it will do, to have a dealer recom mend something else as “just the same” or ‘‘just as good” for colds, coughs, croup, la grippe, etc. Davenport Drug Co. The rich man has troubles of which the poor man knows nothing. The best method ofcleansing the liver is the use of the famous little pills known as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. Easy to take.

Bryan Speaks to Large Crowds—Gov ernor Roosevelt In West Virginia. Auburn, N. Y.,Oct. 19 —Mr. Bryan’s first stop of the day was made at Solvay, a suburban of Syracuse, where he made a short speech to several hundred peo ple congregated at the railroad station. He made no more direct references tc the salt business of the place than to saj he did not know enough about the log ical conditions to be able to discuss the things that his auditors were thinking about. In connection with the trusts he said. “I don’t believe it is a good thing sot Ireland to have a few landlords and the rest of the people tenants. Neither do I believe that it would be a good thing in this country to have a few men stand ing at the head of the great industries and all the rest merely clerks under these industries.” Large Crowd at Seward Park. Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 19. A large crowd greeted Mr. Bryan at Seward park, where he devoted most of his timj to the trusts. A printed statement cred ited to E. D. Metcalf, superintendent oi D. M. Osborne & Co., to the effect that in case Mr. Bryan was elected the Os borne shops, one of the largest manufac turers of agricultural implements in thu country, would be closed, received Mr. Bryan’s attention. He declared that Mr. Metcalf’s announcement was in tended to coerce the voters. Bryan Is Well Pleased. New York, Oct. 19.—Mr. Bryan wal in excellent spirits when he left here at 8:30 o’clock. He was immensely pleased with yesterday’s demonstration, he said. He invited Charles N. Bulger of Os wego to remain with him to the end oi the trip and Mr. Bulger accepted. Mr. Bulger was to have joined John B. Stanchfield in Brooklyn tonight. Roosevelt In West Virginia. Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 19. Charleston has not seen such a day as this since 1896. The city is filled with strangers and a great number of rough riders with bands greeted Governor Roosevelt this afternoon. He made a short speech dealing with the issues of the day. nelson begins his speech Counsel Kor the Defense Makes Sensa tional Allegations. Georgetown, Ky., Oct. 19.—Colonel Nelson began his speech in the Youtzey trial at 9 o’clock this morning. He said: ‘‘lf the court believed or had a suspi cion that ,ha or his counsel had put a witness on the stand knowing he would commit perjury the court should disbar them. While one of the counsel had accused counsel for defensj with subornation of perjury that hi thanked God no one of them had ever been charged with or under warrant for obtaining money under false pretensed nor of robbing his clients of jewelry placed with them for safe keeping. Ha said the belief existed that juries are being packed in these cases for the de fendant had been unable to secure a juror of his own political faith to sit in his case.” Youtzey Is Improving. Georgetown, Ky., Oct. 19.—Youtzey slept well last night and rested better than for several nights and was able tc take nourishment in the ordinay way and is really improved this morning. DAMAGE TO TEXAS COTTON Loss Due to the Storm Will Amount to About. $3,400,000. Washington, Oct. 19.—The statisti cian of the department of agriculturj has completed his investigation of the agricultural situation in those counties in Texas which were visited by the West Indian hurricane of Sept. 8. The area of cotton in the counties in which serious damage resulted from thu storm was approximately 1,300,000 acres with a promise on Sept. 1 of a crop of about 640,000 bales. The reduction oi the crop is estimated at about 68,000 bales, or 10.6 per cent. On a basis of SSO per bale the amount destroyed would represent a value of $3,490,009. The loss on corn is estimated at $500,- 000; on rice, $100,000; while the loss on horses, cattle, sheep and swine is placed at about $490,000. Exclusive of the damage to farm pro ducts, machinery, etc., the total loss is estimated at $5,000,000.

It Happened in a Drug Store, “One day last winter a lady came to my a rug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock,” says Mr. O. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of Ontario. N. Y. “She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and 1 would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the iady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, I consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy.” It is for sale by Dodson’s Pharmacy and J.
